The content of the first fifteen volumes of the latter part of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" is mainly an extended description of ancient war examples, while the content after the sixteenth volume is based on some doctrines and theories such as "Yin and Yang of the Soldiers".

Bing Yinyangjia is the origin of this category.

In some theories, the Yin Yang family uses the number of techniques as the main body of description:

Divination: Divination is the oldest, most important and most familiar divination technique in ancient China. "Historical Records: The Biography of the Turtle Strategy": "The king will send an army to the general, and he will drill on the turtle temple to determine the good fortune." During the Han Dynasty, various new methods and soldiers were flourishing, but divination was still one of the basic warfare techniques.

"Historical Records: The Biography of the Turtle Strategy" contains that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "wanted to attack the Xiongnu, the west of Dawan, the south of the hundred Yue, divination to foresee the appearance, the first to seek its benefits, and the fierce general pushed the front to the festival, won the other, and the yarrow turtle time is also powerful in this." On the special meaning, the reward is tens of millions. This is not a special phenomenon of the Wudi Dynasty, but a common situation of the two Han Dynasty.

Astronomical cloud qi occupation: This is also an ancient military astrology technique.

"Huainanzi Soldier Training": "Ming is in the luck of the stars, the sun and the moon, the number of criminal virtues, the convenience of leaving the hometown, and the help of this battle." "Ming Yu Qi is the five elements of yin and yang and criminal virtue, looking at the weather stars, and the turtle is sneering, and this is good for the heavenly way. ”

The Hejaz records and archaeological discoveries of this kind are the most numerous, and from the Tianguanshu, Tianwenzhi and Silk Slips, it is not difficult to find that the records and classifications of various celestial phenomena and clouds in the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties are much more complex and detailed than those in the Spring and Autumn Period, not only involving the sun and moon, the five planets, the Beidou and many stars and meteorological phenomena, but also extremely extensive and complex. For example, Ma Wangdui's silk book "Astronomical and Meteorological Occupation" alone has 29 figures and 18 names, and there are more than 200 kinds of clouds, and each figure has auspicious and evil characters, and most of them are related to military affairs.

Formula:

The origin of Shizhan may be very early, and there is a record in "Zhou Li" that "the master, the master holds the sky and obeys". The "time of the day" is the style plate. However, the widespread popularity of the style method has been a matter since the Western Han Dynasty.

More than 7 pieces of Han Dynasty style plates have been found, and Wang Mang imitated the style plate to make a mighty fight before the fall, which is well known to historians. Shizhan was later differentiated into Taiyi, Liuren, and Lei Gong equations, which were still popular until the Song Dynasty and were one of the basic forms of military operations. The Qimen Dunjia technique born on the basis of Shizhan is regarded as the housekeeping skill of the Yin and Yang family of soldiers.

Wind angle: The appearance of the wind angle technique was not later than the Shang Dynasty, and it evolved into a systematic wind angle prediction technique and was used in the military, and it was active in the Han Dynasty no later than the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were many famous masters.

The Han Dynasty Bing Yin and Yang Family's Fengjiao Yan, "Tianguanshu" and "Astronomical Chronicles" have special discussions, "Hejaz" "Bing Yin and Yang Family" has 8 articles of "Shi Kuang", "Five Elements" has "Five Tones Strange Use of Soldiers", "Five Sounds of Strange Punishment", and Yinque Mountain Han Jian has "Heaven and Earth Eight Winds and Five Elements Guest Lord Five Tones Dwelling". Sima Qian's "Records of the History", his military book, that is, the "Book of Laws", fully demonstrated his important position in the military. Fengjiao, like Qimen Dunjia, was also very valued by later generations of magicians.

Elephant Occupation: Inferring human beings based on various strange and rare phenomena in nature, that is, Elephant Occupation.

Before the Warring States Period, there were many things like occupancy, but the Han Dynasty had a qualitative leap. The doctrine of disasters based on the induction of heaven and man has been prevalent since the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, forming a tradition of paying attention to disasters and differences in China for more than 2,000 years. Since then, almost all rare natural phenomena such as solar and moon eclipses, floods and droughts, earthquakes, locust plagues, animal and plant abnormalities, and even special human physiological and pathological phenomena, folk customs, and proverbs have been given special significance under the framework of the five elements of yin and yang, and have been solemnly recorded and reported to the emperor. The theory of catastrophe and anomaly has led to the popularity of Xiangzhan in political and military activities, and there are many examples collected in the "Hanshu Five Elements Chronicles".

Choosing auspiciousness: Almost all the techniques have the function of selecting auspiciousness, which only refers to the more specialized techniques selected for the day, such as Jiane, Xingde, Solitary Void, etc. "Below the Han Dynasty, the more it says, the more its law is chiseled," "The Book of Time, many are not one", so there will be Emperor Wu marrying a woman, "The Five Elements Family is said to be OK, the Kanyu Family is said to be unlucky, the Jian Removal Family is said to be unlucky, the Congchen family is said to be a big murderer, the Li family is said to be a small murderer, the heavenly family is said to be a small Ji, and the Tai family is said to be a big auspicious" Such an almost comic scene.

In the Han Dynasty, the soldiers chose auspiciousness and moved, just like the previous generation, the so-called "Yarrow Turtle Time is also powerful here" in the "Biography of the Turtle Strategy". Liu Bang's "choosing a good day, fasting, and setting up an mandala" to worship Han Xin as a general is a typical historical evidence.

Figure: Since the late Western Han Dynasty, as a form of mathematics, although it is not the same thing as the doctrine of soldier yin and yang, we have seen that this kind of picture book with the main function of predicting political changes, often has the character of soldier yin and yang sideways, and in fact, the people of the Han Dynasty do use the book to confuse the public to raise troops and decide the military, such as Liu Yang and other "pretentious prophecies" to raise troops, Emperor Guangwu called the emperor of Shancheng with "Chifu Fu", Gongsun Zan moved to Yicheng with rumors, and so on.

Sacrifice and Blessing: In the pre-Qin period, the method of military sacrifice and prayer was extremely developed.

The Han Dynasty had new developments in at least the following two aspects: First, the establishment of special prayers for the gods of war. In the Qin Dynasty, Chi was especially the "master of soldiers" of the military god and established an ancestral shrine in Chang'an [19]; Gaozu raised troops, "the Yellow Emperor of the Ancestral Hall, the sacrifice is especially in Peiting, and the provocation is all red." Hanxing, Chiyou has also become a generation of military gods. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty added Tai Yishen as the object of sacrifice for the troops, "for the destruction of South Vietnam, pray for Taiyi, paint flags with vitex, climb the dragon with the sun and moon and the Beidou, and take the three stars of the elephant sky, for Tai Yifeng, called the spirit flag, and pray for the soldiers." The Taishi Feng refers to the country that has been conquered. [21] Second, the art of praying and cursing has become more developed. As a unified empire, the Han Dynasty consciously concentrated various local scholars and wizards in Chang'an, and all kinds of local magic and mathematics were integrated and exchanged, and were used in the major affairs of the country.

For example, when Emperor Wu fought against the Xiongnu, he used a group of witches to perform the "curse military technique" to fight against the opponent's similar techniques. Ma Wangdui's "Expedition Map" still retains a lot of spells for Expedition.

Disgust with victory: Disgust with victory is a form of magic that uses witchcraft to dispel misfortune and seek good fortune or cause misfortune to others.

In the political disputes of the Han Dynasty, it was well known for the fierceness of witchcraft and victory, and it was also often used in military orders, when the name of the general was unfavorable, and when the war was fierce. For example, in the fifth year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping, "those who look at the qi think that there should be soldiers in the capital division, and the two palaces are bleeding." The emperor is tired of it, but he sends soldiers from all directions, and talks about martial arts and is optimistic about peace."

And the Yin and Yang doctrine of the soldiers in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" can be said to be the master of the collection before the Song Dynasty.

He said: Looking up at astronomy, it is written in the picture book, and it is also verifiable. Qiyao walks, through the stars and often stays, the second house of the tomb, the flying stream fighting, the faint back redundant, the hugging of the rainbow clam, the thunder demon wind, the strange clouds change qi, the back of the essence of yin and yang. It is born on the earth, and it is born in the sky. The image of the shadow, the echo of the sound. If the detainees do it, they will be involved in taboos, mud decimals, sacrifice personnel, and let ghosts and gods. Where the army and brigade perform the battle, the victory depends on the personnel, and the participation in the changes of the sky, the losers are rare.

Today, the compilation of heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars, wind and clouds, and the three types of horoscopes by Yang Weide, the young eunuch of Si Tian, is divided into five volumes, which are listed in Zuoyun.

Heaven occupies the heavens and cracks. Liu Xiang said: The sky is cracked, the yang is insufficient, the earth is moving, and the yin is more than enough. Wu Mi said: The heavens are split, and the main land wants to be divided. The five elements say: The sky is ringing, and the surname is in the shape of labor. Liu Xiang said: Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the heavens and the earth were thundering, and the disasters were both blamed, and its owners did not know how to be afraid, and finally the disaster came. This is all born of a chaotic country. Emperor Jin Yuan Daxing two years of August Wuxu, the sky is loud in the southeast, such as feng shui sumo.

There are no clouds and rain, so the world is full of disasters. At the end of Emperor Kai of the Sui Dynasty, the sky was cloudless and rainy, and the king of Han was looking for forgiveness and ambush, killing thousands of his party.

Cloudless and thunderous. "The Legend of the Five Elements" says: The thunderer, the heavenly drum also. There are no clouds and thunder, when there are rioters. In February of the twentieth year of the opening of Sui Gaozu, the sky was cloudless and thundering. In March, Li Yinglin, a native of Xizhou, rebelled, and sent Zhang Heng, the head of the march, to seek peace. In April, the Turks lost their troops.

Rain hairs. "The Legend of the Five Elements" says: If gold loses its nature, it will rain and hair. In the sixth year of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, the Beijing master was rainy, such as the tail of a horse, the elder was more than two feet, and the short one was six or five inches. In the following month, Liang Shiyan, Yu Wenxin, and Liu Yu conspired against the ambush. Next year, 100,000 people will be sent to build the Great Wall, and the military revolution will be endless.

Rain bones. "The Legend of the Five Elements" said: "The rain bone of heaven is called yang elimination." The king is moral, the decree is not good, and the lord has internal soldiers.

When the rain and honeysuckle in Shaanzhou, people thought that the Buddha was auspicious, and there was a rebellion of the Han Dynasty.

Rain ash. "The Legend of the Five Elements" says: If there is no way to be tyrannical, it will be rain and ashes. Emperor Wu of Liang was in the same three years, the sky was gray and yellow, and there was finally the rebellion of Hou Jing.

Rain silver. "The Legend of the Five Elements" says: The sky rains and the rain is silver, and the soldiers will prosper. The unrighteous monarch faints in "Lou Page", so the water loses its nature.

Fog. "The Legend of the Five Elements" says: The fog is the breath of a hundred evils. Yin comes and goes, evil ministers conspire to steal the lord's authority.

In the sky is cloudy, in the man-made fog. Li Chunfeng said: The mist is not smooth because of the confusion of yin and yang, the accumulation of yin is incomprehensible, and the world is separated. In the first month of the third year of the reign of Empress Chen, the fog was jammed, and it was bitter. Sui Fa Chen.

Rain wood. It is said that the upper yang is not relaxed, and the **** is not up to the bottom, so the rain is like wood, and there is no straight way to plug the water. Liu Xiang said: The water is less yin, the wood is less yanggui, and the ministers and doctors are also elephants. This person will be harmful, then the yin qi is all wood, and the wood is cold before the rain, so the rain and the wood are also. One says that wood water is wood and water.

If the one who shakes, the yin is lying in wait and cannot come out, the yin is forced and cannot enter, and the yin and yang strike each other, and the earth will shake. Or say: The higher one is the valley, and the lower one is the mausoleum, which is the fault of the villain. Li Guo said: The earth is also yin, and the law is quiet. The post of the yin and the government of the yang should be shaken. It is also said: Yin multiplies yang, and the weak multiplies the strong. He also said: The yin and the yang will crack the ground, and the Qiang Yi will rebel. Liu Xiang said in "The Biography of Hong Fan": The earth is more than yin, and all are strong.
